My 2009 mods w/pics

VTEC KILLER · 06/08/2009, 11:08 PM

So here is what I have been doing over the past few months...

subframe cut to clear the EVO trans with the front section of the trasnfer case since im running it FWD. I made few more small cuts after this pic, pretty much once you put it in from the bottom, you will see small spots where it hits, just drop the subframe and keep cutting.

its in for a test fit and to make the lower downpipe...

lower downpipe finished, vbands all over the place, it will be so easy to take the downpipe off for fluid changes and other work. you can see it goes just under the edge of the transfer case and back up into the tunnel.

Very nice!

Holy shit. Nice top mount manifold. Where'd you get that?

bostonhatcher · 06/09/2009, 12:03 AM

I can't wait to see what kind of numbers you make with that manifold + turbo setup.

Its for an EVO made by PeakBoost. Its their HVS manifold and upper downpipe with the BLING polishing option. I am sad that once I heat cycle it, it will turn gold, but its all good.

Yep, my manifold was silver for about 10 miles... then gold for about 1000 miles... and now it's black

Sweet fucking deal bro. I plan on eventually doing the whole EVO FWD setup. I might have a few questions for you. Are you getting the FWD transfer case from rip-grip, like posted in SLAVA's thread?

Love the manifold, what are you going to be using for tuning?

I already have the transfer case installed, you can see the bottom of it in the last pic. I bought a transfer case from TRE with no diff and a bad ring & pinion gear for $125 shipped. I didnt need the diff because I bought an LSD. It doesnt matter that the ring and pinion are bad, because I am not going AWD. I seperated the front section of the transfer case from the center/tail section. There are shims between the two sections, I used this as a template to make a block off plate out of some 16 gauge steel that I bought from home depot for $8. The trans and transfer case were both built by DogBox Racing. The trans received a full street build with treated gears and is shimmed for performance driving. The center diff is welded and a Hollinger Engineering chromoly diff tube was installed. the transfer case received the M10 bolt upgrade, was shimmed for high HP and a WaveTrac LSD was installed.

For tuning I am keeping my old setup which is an AEM EMS and an Innovate LC1 wideband setup.

VTEC KILLER · 06/14/2009, 12:18 AM

so today me and my boy got a solid 5 or 6 hours in on the car. I finished making the downpipe, finished the wastgate dump tube, finished my hotside intercooler pipe and turbo inlet pipe. installed EVO brembo brakes on all four corners, installed EVO knuckles/hubs up front for use with the converted trans setup. I also hung my HKS Carbon-Ti muffler. This week I gotta get everything tig'd up and hopefully the car will be running next weekend, hopefully.

dont worry...i still have to lower it more up front...

VTEC KILLER · 06/21/2009, 11:34 PM

Finished the radiator hoses, intake pipe is in, all the downpipe and stuff has been welded, I just gotta install it tomorrow.

Princeshinsui · 06/21/2009, 11:48 PM

nuttin but sweet loving

steadly2004 · 06/21/2009, 11:49 PM

Very nice. I would never run my intake pipe like that because I drive in rain and wouldn't want to chance it, but it will bring cooler air.

I love the whole braided radiator lines, very nice.

Can you snap a few pics of the tranny/t-case and how it lines up with the subframe?

Rocky2 · 06/21/2009, 11:52 PM

Holy crap. I'm jealous.

Yeah my car isnt a DD so I try not to take it out in the rain. On the other hand, I have another inlet pipe that puts the filter directly behind the headlight, I will be keeping this in the trunk in case I get caught out in heavy rain I can swap it out in a matter of 2 minutes.

I will take pics on thursday, im going to take the subframe back out and make a few more small cuts for a little extra clearance.

VTEC KILLER · 06/22/2009, 10:53 PM

SS valve cover bolts installed, catch can installed, catch can lines made and installed, turbo drain line made and installed

Mister_Bishi · 06/22/2009, 11:10 PM

Very nice! You gonna bring her out this weekend?

wright06jhs · 06/23/2009, 12:04 AM

That manifold is beautiful, So shiney. The whole build looks great! Awesome job.

PharmEcis · 06/24/2009, 05:56 PM

Very fucking nice. It's nice to see such a clean setup. I know that cost you a pretty penny especially since you used V-bands and AN fittings everywhere.

This thing will be a beast when you convert it to AWD next year after getting fed up w/ FWD SUCK...

VTEC KILLER · 06/24/2009, 07:43 PM

Thanks.

I am outside working on it tonight, hoping to start it up either tomorrow or friday and hope to take it to the meet on saturday.

Gvieweclipse · 06/24/2009, 10:30 PM

SWEET! Looks fuckin gorgeous but damn it must have taken a ton of time and cash. Damn am I jealous of this! Sweet ride!

the radiator is made by Koyo and its designed to fit a JDM EVO5. I had to relocate the lower mounting tabs and modify my upper radiator brackets.
